Now that Marvel has proved superhero assambles can succeed, DC wanted in on the action and as a first measure rebooted Superman on their way towards a Justice League movie. Some mighty talented names have been working on this from Snyder to Christopher Nolan and writer David S. Goyer (Dark City, Blade). Man Of Steel is a solid blend of drama and epic action with a great supporting role from Russell Crowe. The way of depicting our hero's childhood on Earth with constant backflashes doesn't work as seemlessly as you'd hope but in the end it's a minor problem. I just think linear storytelling might've been better in this case.

It's been a while since there's been a sequel that's truly done everything in its power to ass rape and destroy the brilliance of the original but by God, the Wolf Pack sure give it a go. The whole movie screams from lack of ideas and most importantly, laughs. Plus they've taken one of the most irritating actors on Planet Earth, Ken Jeong (who makes even Martin Lawrence seem like John Belushi) and his character (Chow) and given him more screen time! At least Lucas tried to make amends and cut Jar Jar from Episode II & III almost entirely.Cooper and Helms seem frustrated throughout but it's understandable if you take into account the fact that they've seen the fucking script. Two scenes with Melissa McCarthy are all that's worth while, plus a funny end credit sequence which begs the question why the fuck I wasn't watching that movie!

I am not my job or how much money I have in the bank.

Just felt like sharing my views and opinions about these films and related topics with you, but feel free to let me know if there's a particular film of which you'd like me to write about. If I haven't seen it, I'll try to make an effort to find it and review it for you.
Bare in mind that I'm only just getting started. There's not much material yet, but Rome wasn't built in a day either. Right?? :) and also, I'm a Finnish guy so give me a break if my english isn't 100%.
